A Little Piece of Ground

In 1948, twelve-year-old Tawfiq and his family are forced to flee their home in Palestine during the Nakba, becoming refugees in a land that is no longer theirs. Told through the interwoven voices of Tawfiq, his mother, and his father, the novel traces their journey through displacement, loss, and the enduring hope of finding a home again. Elizabeth Laird's elegiac, lyrical prose captures the profound grief of a people uprooted and the quiet resilience that sustains them through years of exile.
